I don't think this is specific to Windows.  The underlying problem
here is that our timers are interval timers: the next time a timer
fires is set by adding the interval to the time it fires now.  So if
Emacs doesn't get CPU for a long time, it will start counting time
from the first moment it gets CPU again.
